丰城中学xx学年高三上学期周练试卷英语(1--45班)左琦婧(xx.10.14 )考试时间16:10-----17:20 (重点班不做D篇)一、阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)2021年高三上学期10月周练英语试题(1-45班)含答案Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criti cisms to heart and find a flaw inthemselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not bee work for children. The oute of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the oute and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positi ve reinforcement should be provided in spite of the oute. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.1. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that _____.A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC. it can provide them with valuable experiencesD. it enables them to find flaws in themselves2. According to the passage parents and coaches should _____.A. help children to win every gameB. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsC. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsD. train children to deal with stress3. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is _____.A. to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenB. to persuade young children not to worry about criticismC. to discuss the skill of bing criticism with encouragementD. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutBDo successful businessmen need an office? Increasingly the answer seems to be no.Chris Ward, author of the book Out of Office explains how President Barack Obama’s first in auguration (就职) speech was written by 27-year-old Jon Favreau sitting in Starbucks; how Richard Tait, creator of Cranium, started the board game in a coffee shop; how Michael Acton Smith invented the children’s virtual world Moshi Monsters in his local Caffè Nero; and how JK Rowling, the novelist behind Harry Potter, believes a caféis the best place to write.It is a convincing view, and for basic start-ups it makes much more sense to work from home and public spaces such as cafés than renting an expensive office. Offices are hard to find, costly to decorate and involve much tiring administration. Moreover, by staying independent you avoid the misery of a daily mute(往返上下班), which for many is the worst part of a job.Thanks to mobile munications, WiFi and cloud storage, together with the increasing heavy-duty equipment such as photocopiers, fax machines and desktop PCs, the traditional office is being redundant(多余的) for many sorts of organizations and workers. Of course, factory managers, surgeons, chefs and industrial chemists are still tied to special locations. But many of us –from software engineers and copywriters to architects and fashion designers –can operate almost anywhere. That freedom, and a willingness to adapt, can make one’s career more en joyable and, sometimes, more efficient.4. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us__________.A. Obama didn’t write his inauguration speech by himselfB. People don’t have to work in an officeC. A café is the best place to writeD. Many writers like to write in a coffee shop5. Which of the following careers is tied to special locations?A. Software engineers.B. Copywriters.C. Surgeons.D. Fashion designers.6. The traditional office is being redundant due to the following EXCEPT_____.A. mobile municationsB. WiFi and cloud storageC. heavy-duty equipmentD. the misery of a daily mute7. What can we infer from the text?A. Many people hate muting daily.B. The tradition office will no longer exist.C. Working in public places will reduce efficiency.D. Chefs can work anywhere.CBlind tasting is a very strange activity. Contrary to what many imagine, it has nothing to do with blindfolds. It involves tasting a wine withoutseeing the label and it can deliver shocking surprises. I tasted seven champagnes(香槟) blind with a group of professionals recently. There was a shock when they discovered the wine most of them preferred carried a label they regarded as their least favorite. That sort of result is especially mon with champagne, the most image-driven rather than quality-driven wine of all. But it happens all the time when wine is tasted blind.Because I’m interested in how wines really taste instead of how I think they should, I taste wine blind as often as I can, especially when assessing similar young wines. But blind tasting when you know absolutely nothing about the wine in front of you is something pletely different. The most difficult Master of Wine exams include three sessions during which you have a dozen glasses in front of you and nothing more helpful than a printed exam paper asking you to identify each wine as closely as possible, and assess its quality.Now that the MW is behind me, I taste wine pletely blind only very rarely, and never in public. So my blind tastings these days are round the dinner table with good friends and once a year when I act as a judge, with Hugh Johnson, in the Oxford vs Cambridge wine-tasting petition. This is the mostextraordinary match, always held before the Boat Race but taken just as seriously nowadays. This year’s taste-off took place at the end of last month, as usual in the Oxford and Cambridge Club on Pall Mall in London.8. Which of the following is true about Blind tasting?A. Blind tasting is the professional way to identify a wine.B. Blind tasting usually has the right result.C. Blind tasting means tasting a wine with one’s eyes covered.D. Blind tasting is tasting a wine without seeing the label.9. Why did the professionals get shocked at the result of their blind tasting?A. They got all the results correctly.B. They didn’t recognize their favorite at all.C. The writer made no mistakes.D. Champagnes can not be tasted blind.10. Which of the following interests the writer most?A. Assessing young wines.B. Master of wine exams.C. Tasting wine blind in public.D. Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting petition.11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The Boat Race is taken more seriously than the wine race.B. The Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting petition is held annually.C. I didn’t act as a judge last year.D. Pall Mall is chosen as the petition place for the first time.DBangkok has bee the world's top tourist destination, with 15.98 million visitors projected to visit Thailand's capital city this year, according to the third annual Global Destination Cities Index released by MasterCard on Monday. Based on data MasterCard collected from governments, central banks, related public agencies and airlines so far this year, the projection (预测) for the entire year says Bangkok is surpassing London, the previous holder of the top place, by a very narrow margin.Monday's report marked the first time any Asian city has been projected to be the top-ranked tourist destination.

That pares to New York's increase at 5.0% and London's at 3.8%. Paris, meanwhile, saw a small dip in its number of tourists (negative 0.7%).Caroline Lledo, who was visiting Bangkok from France, said Thailand has many offerings. “We like culture and the people are so nice. We also love shopping here,” Ms. Lledo said. MasterC ard Worldwide's global economic adviser Yuwa Hedrick-Wong cited(引用)overall value for money spent for why Bangkok is attractive. That is true for Thailand overall as well.12. From the passage we can know that___________.A. Bangkok defeated London by a wide marginB. there are 15.96 million visitors visiting London in xxC. London Topped List of World's Tourist Destinations in xxD. Paris is experiencing an increase in its number of tourists13. How many Asian cities have made it to the Top-20 Global Destination Cities in xx?A. Seven.B. Eight.C. Nine.D. Ten.14. What attracts visitors to Thailand?A. Culture and natural scenery.B.

The purpose of this unusual move is, according to the city council, to discourage night gathering in downtown areas.The law inevitably has given rise to a number of protests, accusing that the government has ___43___ people’s normal lives. However, if you take into consideration the country’s ___44___ economy and its high unemployment rate, the local government’s fear of ‘night assembling’may be reasonable.In fact, Milan’s law is only the strangest of a host of restrictions on nightlife that have ___45___ up in European cities recently. Madrid’s citycenter was declared a ‘low-noise zone’ last September and the city council has been refusing to ___46___ bar and club licenses ever since.Why do European cities deal so strictly with nightlife?

Reading prehension(47%)Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Many of us have characteristics that are inherited from our families. Maybewe have our father’s eyes or our grandmother’s hair color – __51__ features that result from the genes we inherit. But there are other elements of our personalities such as behaviors and viewpoints that we pick up by __52__ our parents. Perhaps we have picked up our mother’s love of cleaning or our dad’s sense of humor. Now, researchers at the University of Michigan believe there may be a specific viewpoint we can thank our parents for: the way we __53__ work.The researchers referred to previous studies that identified three main ways of viewing work.First, there are job-oriented (以求职为目的的)people, those who __54__ to see their job as simply a way to make money. They __55__ to clocking out(打卡下班)every day and pursuing fun activities __56__ the office. If you have a job-oriented father, you may view work this way. __57__, if you grew up close to your mother you probably will not hold this viewpoint. One possible __58__ cited by the study: Youngsters that grow up close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job.Second, there are career-oriented(追求事业型的)people who see their job as a place to find __59__ and gain a sense of __60__. These are the people who don’t __61__ working overtime. In fact, some people love their jobs so much that they bee workaholics! They are more fortable in the office than at home. According tothe study, being close to a career- oriented father while growing up means there’s a good chance you’ll share his perspective. Oddly, having a mother with this viewpoint seems to have little __62__.Third, there are calling-oriented workers – folks who view their job as a way to make a (n) __63__ impact upon the world. They are more __64__ with improving the world around them than earning a large salary. In the study, those who expressed a strong calling (天职)orientation came from homes where both parents were calling-oriented. This suggests that adolescents need the support of both parents in order to have the confidence to put __65__ first and career success second.The good news is –we still have choice. Whether we share our parents’views of work or not, we can still find a career that suits us.51. A. medical B. physical C. biological D. mental52. A. stimulating B. neglecting C. implying D. modeling53. A. view B. think C. evaluate D. ment54. A. attempt B. manage C. tend D. offer55.

A. personal ideals B. economic profitsC. professional achievementsD. global developmentSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)On “Super Bowl Sunday”, millions of Americans are glued to their TVs. They are eating pizza, chicken wings and chips and cheering every move. They’re watching the Super Bowl.Why are Americans so crazy about American football? Well, it is more exciting than other sports. One team can lose possession of the ball in a minute, which may allow their opponents to make a touchdown(触地得分). Then that team may win the game unexpectedly.The Super Bowl also entertains its audience with a great halftime show. The football field is turned into a stage. Then an impressive performance of dancing and singing with special effects occurs.Since the Super Bowl is the most-watched TV program in America, mercial airtime is also very expensive. Big money is also spent on mercials. They draw the viewers’attention and advertise their image or products during the mercial break.After football season, the “March Madness”begins. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) petitions begin with 68 men’s collegebasketball teams. They play until the field is reduced to the “Final Four”. The winning team bees the national champion. The NBA (National Basketball Association) All-Star game is also held in February. The best players from all the teams play in this game.Baseball is no doubt American’s national sport. From grandpas to young kids, whole families go to ball games together. They wear their favorite team’s caps or even carry their mascot(吉祥物). Our family went to watch Wang Chien-Ming play in D.C. once. We ate hot dogs, waved flags and sang during the 7th inning(棒球的一局) stretch.If you are not a sports fan yet, e and pick a sport or a team. Go to a ball game with your family, and cheer your team on.

With all this ing and going, you’d expect greater understanding to develop between the nations of the world. Not a bit of it! Superb systems of munication by air, sea and land make it possible for us to visit each other ’s countries at a moderate cost. What was once the ‘grand tour ’, reserved for only the very rich, is now within everybody ’s grasp? The package tour and chartered flights are not to be sneered at. Modern travelers enjoy a level of fort which the lords and ladies on grand tours in the old days couldn’t have dreamed of. But what ’s the sense of this mass exchange of populations if the nations of the world remain basically ignorant of each other? Many tourist organizations are directly responsible for this state of affairs. They deliberately set out to protect their clients from too much contact with the local population. The modern tourist leads a cosseted, sheltered life. He lives at international hotels, where he eats his international food and sips his international drink while he gazes at the natives from a distance. Conducted tours to places of interest are carefully censored. The tourist is allowed to see only what the organizers want him to see and no more. A strict schedule makes itimpossible for the tourist to wander off on his own; and anyway, language is always a barrier, so he is only too happy to be protected in this way. At its very worst, this leads to a new and hideous kind of colonization. The summer quarters of the inhabitants of the cite universitaire: are temporarily reestablished on the island of Corfu. Blackpool is recreated at Torremolinos where the traveler goes not to eat paella, but fish and chips.The sad thing about this situation is that it leads to the persistence of national stereotypes. We don’t see the people of other nations as they really are, but as we have been brought up to believe they are. You can test this for yourself. Take five nationalities, say, French, German, English, American and Italian. Now in your mind, match them with these five adjectives: musical, amorous, cold, pedantic, native. Far from providing us with any insight into the national characteristics of the peoples just mentioned, these adjectives actually act as barriers. So when you set out on your travels, the only characteristics you notice are those which confirm your preconceptions. You e away with the highly unoriginal and inaccurate impression that, say, ‘Anglo-Saxons are hypocrites’ of that ‘Latin peoples shout a lot ’. You only have to make a few foreign friends to understand how absurd and harmful national stereotypes are. But how can you make foreign friends when the tourist trade does its best to prevent you?Carried to an extreme, stereotypes can be positively dangerous. Wild generalizations stir up racial hatred and blind us to the basic fact—how triteit sounds! – That all people are human. We are all similar to each other and atthe same time all unique.74.The passage mainly wants to tell us________A.tourism contributes nothing to increasing understanding between nations.B.Tourism is tiresome.C.Conducted tour is dull.D. tourism really does something to one’s country.75.What is the author's attitude toward tourism?A.apprehensive.B.negative.C.critical.D. appreciative.76.The word”cosseted” (para 2 line 3) probably means_____A.over-protectedB.variedC.limitedD.luxurious77.What is ‘grand tour’ now?A. moderate cost.B. local sight-seeing is investigated by the tourist organization.C.people enjoy the first-rate forts.D.everybody can enjoy the ‘grand tour’.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Yes, but what did we use to do before there was television? How often we hear statements like this! Television hasn’t been with us all that long, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like without it. Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never fond it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go outside for our amusements to theatres, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We even used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talks occasionally. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time is regulated by the goggle box. We rush home or gulp down our meals to be in time for this or that programme. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do – anything, providing it doesn’t interfere with the programme. The monster demands and obtains absolute silence and attention. If any member of the family dares to open his mouth during aprogramme, he is quickly silenced.Whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly. Food is left uneaten, homework undone and sleep is lost. The telly is a universal pacifier. It is now standard practice for mother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living-room and turning on the set. It doesn’t matter that the children will watch rubbishy mercials or spectacles of sadism and violence – so long as they are quiet.There is a limit to the amount of creative talent available in the world. Every day, television consumes vast quantities of creative work. That is why most of the programmes are so bad: it is impossible to keep pace with the demand and maintain high standards as well. When millions watch the same programmes, the whole world bees a village, and society is reduced to the conditions which obtain in preliterate munities. We bee utterly dependent on the two most primitive media of munication: pictures and the spoken word.Television encourages passive enjoyment. We bee content with second-hand experiences. It is so easy to sit in our armchairs watching others working. Little by little, television cuts us off from the real world. We get so lazy, we choose to spend a fine day in semi-darkness, glued to our sets, rather than go out into the world itself. Television may be s splendid medium of munication, but itprevents us from municating with each other. We only bee aware how totally irrelevant television is to real living when we spend a holiday by the sea or in the mountains, far away from civilization. In quiet, natural surroundings, we quickly discover how little we miss the hypnotic tyranny of King Telly.78.What does a mother usually do to keep her children quiet?_______________________________________________________________________ ___79.what’s the author’s suggestion to forget TV?_________________________________________80.&81Please smmerize at least two harms of TV80.__________________________________________________________________________ __81.__________________________________________________________________________ __第II卷I.

Exercise plus a healthy diet.BWhen I got the driving license last summer, Mom and I took our first trip around an empty parking lot. Then I found that my mother was not the best teacher for me. It wasn't that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mother's "helpful instructions" only managed to make me more nervous.Since I could no longer practice with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. The idea of learning from Dad was not one that thrilled me. I loved him dearly, but I just did not see Dad as someone I could be fortable learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a typical father-daughter relationship. He'd ask how school was, and I'd say it was fine. Unfortunately, that was the most of our conversations. Spending hours alone with someone who might as well have been a stranger really scared me.As we got into the car that first time, I was not surprised at what happened. Dad and I drove around, saying almost nothing, aside from a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would turn the radio up so I could fully appreciate his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about past failed dates, "basic body" gym class, and other tales from his past, including some of his first meeting with Mom.Dad’s sudden chattiness was shocking until I thought about wh y he was telling me so much in the car. In all the years that I had wondered why my father never spoke that much, I had never stopped to consider that itwas because I had never bothered to listen. Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and, consequently, I never thought my quiet father had anything to say.Since I began driving with him, my driving skill has greatly increased. More important, though, is that my knowledge of who my father is has also increased. Just living with him wasn't enough— it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery.4. The author couldn't practice driving with her mother because__________.A. she couldn't talk with her motherB. her mother made her nervousC. her father wanted to teach herD. she didn't trust her mother5. At first, the idea of learning driving from her father made her___________.A. happyB. disappointedC. satisfiedD. uneasy6. What surprised the author when the driving lessons went on?A. Her Dad was a chatty person.B. Her Dad was the best teacher.C. Her Dad liked modern music.D. Her Dad told her his sad stories.7. With her story "Car Talk", the author indicates that___________ .A. fathers love their daughters dearlyB. family members need real municationC. mothers are less patient than fathersD. it takes time to improve the father-daughter relationshipCBarack Obama has really gone wild. The US president has taken part in the survival television show Running Wild With Bear Grylls, which will air on NBC later this year. In the show, Obama goes on an adventure with host Bear Grylls, learning how to survive in the Alaskan wilderness.Edward Michael “Bear” Grylls, 41, has bee known around the world as one of the most famous outdoor adventurers. The Briton has appeared on a number of wilderness survival shows in which he has climbed, sailed, and eaten bugs or cow tongue.Obama doesn’t have to eat bugs or cow tongue on h is adventure with Grylls. But he does have to eat leftovers - a bloody salmon (三文鱼). It was partly enjoyed by a bear that left some meat behind.Although he is far from the White House kitchen, Obama seems to enjoythe outdoors. “As president, I am in what’s called the bubble(保护膜), and the Secret Service makes sure that I’m always out of danger... but I sometimes want to get out,” he said in a video.However, Obama’s appearance on the show isn’t just for fun. He took part to raise awareness of the effect gl obal warming has had on the US’s largest state, Alaska.8. On his adventure, Obama______.A. has to eat something strange like bugsB. enjoys cow tongue with GryllsC. takes in some unusual foodD. never has any difficulty9. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. Obama has been tired of the life in the White House presidents have never been in danger because of the Secret ServiceC. the food prepared in the White House is not as good as the food outdoorsD. the life outside the White House is sometimes attractive to the president10.The purpose of Obama’s appearance on the show is _____.A. to have some funB. to promote environmental protectionC. to enjoy the wilderness in Alaska.D. to get out of the White Housefor a change11.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Grylls is the most well known outdoor adventurer around the world.B. The TV show with Obama’s appearance is now on air on NBC.C. Obama learns how to survive with host Bear Grylls in African wilderness.D. Grylls has special abilities to survive in the wildDWhy are so many people so afraid of failure? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure bees an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower stand ards. A mother describes her child’s hasty-made table as “Perfect!” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.The trouble with failure-prevention devices is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no onecan be best at everything, no one can win all the time--- and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when we don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honor roll on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolation, prize or say, “It doesn’t matter.” because it does. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment—and be helped to master it.Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask “Why did I fail?”Don’t blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about inquiring. Success, which encourages repetition of old behavior, is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. You can learn from a bad party how to give a good one, from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second. Even a failure that seems definitive can prompt fresh thinking, a change of direction. After 12 years of studying ballet, a friend of mine auditioned for a professional pany. She was turned down. “ Would further training help?” she asked. The ballet master shook his head. “ You will never be a dancer”, he said,“You haven’t the body for it.”In such cases, the way to use failure is to take stock(估量) of the situation bravely asking, “What have I left? What else can I do?” My friend put away her shoes and moved into dance treatment center, a field where she’s both able and useful. Failure frees one to take risks because there’s less to lose. Often there is recovery of energy—a way to find new possibilities.12.
